It goes much further than the usual infantile mantra of using your data to push you tailored ads to generate more revenue, at the macro level it amounts to social engineering and psychological manipulation - at both the individual and societal level alike (and everything in between). Shame on you bezos.
And other big tech operators are no better for that matter. Just look at what Microsoft are cooking up with recall and all the other perfidious ai garbage they're baking into their sub standard operating systems which amount to nothing less than fully fledged spyware. No better time to switch to Linux and even that is under constant covert attack.
Big tech will stop at nothing until the entire global populous have been effectively herded into their cyber digital smart gulag, by which time everyone will have already been so thoroughly domesticated in their smart tech curated digital safe spaces that they won't even bother looking for an exit route

As someone who tries to interest people in Privacy and Online Safety, this comment is a text book example of "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." This does more bad than good. Telling people variations of "you are wrong" or "wake up sheeple" is just not the way to get people interested in anything, it does actually the opposite, it makes you look as patronising and obnoxious.
I hope you can see that although you mean well, you are not helping the cause but driving people further away from it.
